Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore announces public comment period for a proposed backcountry cabin and updates to Au Sable Light Station tours
Munising, MICHIGAN — Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is requesting public comment on two proposals regarding visitor recreation in the park. The public comment period is open through December 31, 2023. Feedback provided will help determine how, or if, changes to these opportunities will be implemented.
Proposal 1 would involve the introduction of a reservable backcountry cabin near the Twelvemile Beach Campground. The cabin would be open for public reservations on recreation.gov, with a proposed cost of $35 per night. The cabin is located on the Twelvemile Beach bluff overlooking Lake Superior. This backcountry cabin would have no running water or electricity and would be accessed via The North Country National Scenic Trail.
Proposal 2 would include an increase in fees for the Au Sable Light Station tours, as well as the tour system moving entirely to the recreation.gov system. The tour fee would increase from the current $5 per person to $10 per person to support operations at the light station. The recreation.gov system would allow individuals to make tour reservations digitally. The grounds and maritime museum would remain open to the public without a tour fee.
